Hundreds of employees from the Ministry of Interior organized a protest, in front of the Ministry of Finance building to demand a 10% rise in salaries, which they want set down in the state budget for 2023.

The police officers say they know what financial position the country is in, and that is why they have agreed to a 10% increase in salaries. Interior Ministry employees have already held two warning protests – one on 4 and one on 6 July. They are adamant that if their demands are not heeded they will go on with different forms of protest.
